Hi everyone been a while since I've posted anything. I am looking to get into some SWLing while at work and the 2 radio's I've been looking at are theTecsun PL660 and Sangeon ATS 909X the 660 is cheaper and has airband much like my old Sony 2010 but hard to beat the 2010 so what are your opinions of these 2 radio's?Tnx in advance Dan

I too think that the Sony 2010 is hard to beat, I bought the Sony 7600GR and the Sangean 909 to compare, but I sold both on ebay and kept only the 2010,and do not spend more money on portable receivers.73 de George.

I have the Tecsun 660 and it is a great radio for the money. Well built and sensitive enough on SW. SSB works well.

The memories are a bit clunky to use and I have not tested airband at all.

I bought it when studying for my license and still use if when having a casual surf to see what's out there

Theory is when you know everything but nothing works.Practice is when everything works but you to not know why.Quite often these two things happen together; nothing works and you do not know why - Arihato

Never had a Sony. I prefer the Tecsun PL660 to the Sangean 909 and the Degen1103. The Redsun RP2100 is a different story as it offers an IF output to be connected through an external mixer to Dream software for IFDSP Filtering and demodulation.
